The Duchess looked divine on the eve of her 30th birthday, when she walked the red carpet like a pro while her doting hubby protected her from the rain, serving as her own personal umbrella handler — how sweet!

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge may usually dress more on the conservative side, but for the War Horse premiere in London on Jan. 8 she looked as glam as a screen siren, in a lace long-sleeved Alice Temperley gown. From the low v-neck to the way the gown fit like a glove, Kate’s svelte figure and stellar style sense were on full display, while her hubby, Prince William, walked beside her carrying an umbrella to shield her gorgeous locks from the rain!

Kate is no stranger to lace — in fact, two of her most memorable appearances to date involved lovely lace frocks. From her custom-made Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress to the lace Erdem sheath she debuted on the Royal Tour, the feminine look is stylish and understated — and it looks great on Kate!
